There are seemingly a lot of problems that people have been suffering when they try to connect a Wiimote to a PC. We seem to have been the luckiest people in the world as the process proved to be simple for us.
NOTE: We unfortunately have a complex folder structure here at work that is very deep (not intellectually). I tried running the WiiFlash server from inside this structure and it failed. Moving the application to the desktop solved this problem and it worked beautifully.
I could not find the "Bluetooth favourites" icon I just went to Control panel > Bluetooth devices and set up from there. Perhaps if you can find the Bluetooth favourites it will be even easier to connect the Wiimotes.
